Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
This large-format, colorfully illustrated handbook will find a place on library shelves where a good, general instruction manual for grooming one's own pet and even establishing oneself as a professional groomer is called for. The text is to the point and attractively arrayed across the page. The first chapter covers basic coat types, and subsequent chapters present information on maintenance of a healthy coat and on routine coat care. The path to creating a grooming career is carefully laid out, and most of the book is given over to the grooming needs of specific breeds of dogs. Brad Hooper

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good - great photos, August 21, 2004
This review is from: Ultimate Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
The author has more of a UK/European-centric view of things, meaning she focuses more on hand-stripping certain breeds than clipping them, as is more the custom in the US. That's not a bad thing, as there isn't enough info in US books about hand-stripping and her pattern illustrations are nice and can be adapted to clipping. The breed and step-by-step photos are beautiful. This actually would be a good book to keep in a grooming salon lobby for customers to see.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for would be groomers, May 12, 2007
By Dog Lady (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
I found this book to be full of helpful information with clear instructions and explanations. The pictures are excellent. After reading this anyone would feel comfortable approaching any type of coat. It would be perfect to have in front of you in the salon and it lists every item needed for each design. It goes into great detail of the more tricky styles, as well as combatting any problems. All the info is here. Well worth the purchase.I see myself keeping this one for many, many years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, December 11, 2005
This review is from: Ultimate Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
Has many breeds not covered in other books, still left some out but good variety. Nice color pictures of the breeds, I am currently working in a salon where the girls don't know many of the breeds by sight, this book has really helped them.
